{V-day Dinner: The set-up}

This year for Valentines, we decided to stay in + do dinner. 36 weeks pregnant + fighting the crowds = crazy pregnant chick winding up in a fight no fun!  I put Nic in charge of making dinner (let's get real, I can't cook) and I put myself in charge of setting the table.  I wanted to make it fun + incorporate a few details of "our story."  Down the middle of the table are lyrics to our wedding song.. The Luckiest by Ben Folds.  cheesy I know, so sue me  I also included a few special dates throughout our relationship.  Oh + the cute "Do not disturb" sign was a free printable from the talented ladies over at October Ink.  Nic makes the best spaghetti this side of the Mississippi!  I am already looking forward to stuffing my face and getting some good 1 on 1 time with him!

Nixon- Valentine Pictures

A couple months ago, my favorite photog (Jen Herem) asked me if I would like to help style her Valentine mini sessions.  Of course, without any hesitation, I said yes.  My love for "crafting" has kicked into high gear since having Nixon.  I love any DIY project + I love planning birthday parties and making fun crafts. I post a lot of my craft stuff on instagram sorry about that .  I had so much fun working with Jen.  I need to thank my husband for building the kissing booth, he always does the more "manly" parts of my projects. (thanks babe!)  She took some pictures of Nixon at the end of the first day of her mini sessions.  He was in such a funny little mood + was able to let some of his cute personality show.  This first picture is hands down my favorite.  I added the text to the pictures, I 'm going to print some copies and give them to all the ladies in his life for V-day!
